Antichamber vs No Man’s Sky
Antichamber
Antichamber is the sort of game you'll want to play if you have a strong appreciation for MC Escher's mind-bending worlds and you have always imagine what it'd feel like to be in one of these worlds. Being an almost impossible puzzle game where hallways wrap around each other and spaces rearrange themselves, the game aims to push you out of your comfort zone and make you question how the game work (Hint: there is no permanent set of rules in this game and eveything you know can be changed). With your trusty gun in hand, you will need to create, destroy and manipulate the very matter itself to solve the puzzles you get and move on to the next stage.Antichamber is a puzzle game that's unlike any other. If you enjoy getting your mind blown wide open, this is the type of game you'll want to play... guaranteed!
No Man’s Sky
No Man’s Sky has had a really rough start but thankfully the game developers have the integrity and the determination to continue the development of their game and honestly, despite the fact that the game still needs plenty of work, it has improved a lot since it was first released. The game is a sci-fi-themed, procedurally-generated planet and space exploration game where you can not only gather resources to craft and build your base but also learn how to communicate with sentient aliens or hunt non-sentient ones. You can also literally play any role you like, be it as a trader, an explorer or a bounty hunter.The galaxy itself feels very much alive due to the many factors in play - space pirates plundering unwary traders, various factions fighting to secure new territories, and more, aside from the fact that you'll be playing with other players in the same galaxy. Due to its procedural generation, every new planet you land on will always have a whole new ecosystem that you have never seen before, but like many players have noted, you still get the feeling that the creatures and the planet itself look familiar enough to discredit whatever differences they have. However, the best part about the game is perhaps its fragmented storyline - a plot that has to be assembled piece by piece as you explore the many worlds the game has to offer.
Many fans of the game has touted No Man's Sky as a first-person Starbound, but whether that's true or not, well, it's up to you to decide. The game can be pretty costly to buy at its original price considering that the game feels a lot like a work-in-progress, but if you can get it cheap, then the game is worth the experience.
